Beast 1:Tiger-SharkNature: Tiger, SharkSize: 5'2" (tall) 14' (Long)Weight: 1.5 tonsNot the standard issue fish. Much, much worse. Half tiger-tiger, half tiger shark - a pure hybrid with the combined offensive threat of both beasts. 1.5 tons, 14 feet long, terrestrial. Moves with the speed of a shark through water. Rows of replaceable fangs and claws. Sharp scales make direct contact with Tiger-Shark akin to direct contact with a cheese-grater. Can determine the location of enemies via a unique electric sense organ below ears. Can smell blood from miles away. Must move to breathe.

Beast 2:ChalupacabraNature: ChupacabraSize: 4'2" (Tall) 6' (long)Weight: 600 lbsAn unfathomable melding of the mythical Mexican beast The Chupacabra, and the melt-a-licious Mexican feast, the Chalupa. The Chalupacabra is a quick, alien-like beast complete with sharp claws, segmented eyes, and blood sucking tongue. It's covered all over in a puffy, fried skin with an exquisite doughy texture. Spines sprout from its back, which opens wide to erupt a fountain of irresistible seasoned meat. Opponents are unable to resist their temptation to devour the Chalupacabra. Unfortunately for them, the meat is tainted, leading to severe intestinal distress and eventual death. Those not done in by the crippling stomach cramps will quickly fall victim to the Chalupacabra's cagey alien fighting moves and it's ability to think outside the bun. Is it a secret government experiment? An alien visitor from beyond the stars? The Chalupacabra is ready to take on all challengers!

Beast 3:Dober-Man-PincherNature: Dog, Man, CrabSize: 6'8" (Tall) Weight: 500 lbsTrying to cure his degenerative ectrodactyly claw hands, zee good doktor tried some radical new genetic splicing techniques, only to realize a stray hair or two from his lab's guard dog had gotten into the mix.... and when the smoke cleared... The Dober-Man-Pincher. Super intelligent- very aggressive - uber pinchy.

What cruel turn of fate put the perpetually hungry Barracade in the same heat as the delicious looking Chalupacabra?!!!???
He could take on any other beast in this round. He’s armored, he’s fast, he’s aggressive and he has a really cool name, alas I fear he has little chance against the doughy temptation of Mexico!!
Damnit another of my favorites foiled!!!

Yes, I fear the same fate for what I initially thought was a sure thing, my beloved Pirahnapede. But when my little red riding hood gazed into his maw and said, "Grandmaw, what innumerable teeth you have", I knew that Chalupacabra would have the answer: "All the better to make you wish you had died on that toilet with."

If mega-beasts has taught me one lesson, it is this: no one likes sharks with feet. Sharkitraz was a dud 2 years ago, his spiritual successor, Tiger-Shark is a dud today. They always seem awesome in my head.

Yes, putting the ravenous Pangolin, Tiger-Shark, and Pirahnapede in the same heat as the monster made of meat was a mean trick. Fear not - one needs only to think of things holistically. Remember, it is 5 fighting at the same time. Can Chupa handle that kind of feeding frenzy?

Also, people are ignoring the Pincher's smarts. He is the only one with higher brain functions complex enough to piece together 'eating chalupa is bad.'

Lastly, ROU, if you root against Chalupacabra, isn't that in its way like rooting against the Blazers winning?

Hi there! I'm new to the MBDM, but I know that if I don't vote for Chalupacabra right now, I will never be able to live with myself. I think he's got what it takes to win against even the Pirahnapede! If the Chalupacabra surrounds Pirahnapede with his delicious, tainted meat, then Pirahnapede's probably going to consume some of it if he wants to keep moving, ensuring Pirahnapedal intestinal distress. If he doesn't keep moving, then the others could take him. Or Chalupacabra could cover the others in tainted meat and let Pirahnapede eat them, also ensuring intestinal distress. Go Chalupacabra!

I got to thinking; if Pirahnapede managed to sting Chalupacabra with its paralyzing tail before the cramps hit, it might immobilize Chalupacabra long enough for Pirahnapede to get through the cramps. Of course, that would just lead to them both dying at the hands of the others, unless they all immediately went for Chalupacabra's tainted meat. Big "if's" though.

We're all about the big if's here. Go big if or go home. The devil is in the intangibles.

When you think about the anatomy of the Chulupacabra, the actual guts, the essence of the beast is in the 'shell.' If something is hulking enough to take a big ole' lateral bite of the chalupa, not a top down nibble, well, they're putting a big hurt on its chances.

Sharks on legs are a terrifying concept! The thing is, in relation to a mutated centipede, it just not that horrific.

After some serious obsessing, I have come up the following scenario:
TigerShark will smell Chalupacabre first, thanks to his keen sense of smell, his super fast too so he will get to Chalupacabre first. He will take a devastating bite (we’ve all seen a shark bite), it doesn’t matter from which end, the Mexican delight won’t be able to attack with half his limbs missing, or its meaty entrails spilling from its doughy exterior. Sharks eat anything, they have been for eons, he may be weakened by the toxicity of the seasoned meat, which will leave him vulnerable to the other contenders.
That said, it has to be Barracade:
Piranapede’s teeth will be rendered useless, Barracades scales are impenetrable!! You can’t pinch it, if you can’t bite it so Dober Man Pincher just won’t score there. Tiger shark is already ailing from destroying Chalupacabra!!!
Barracade WINS!!!!!!

Due to Barracade's insatiable hunger, would he go for what's left of Chalupacabra at some point in the fight, rendering him useless as well?

What about battlefield environmental contamination from chalupacabra's bacteria-infested entrails? TigerShark will be barfing them wherever he goes. Mosquitoes, maggots, bot-flies, groundwater contamination. As any military man can confirm, dysentery completely immobilizes armies.

Nah Man!! It only eats live prey (what? That’s not in the specs?? That was just an oversight…he doesn’t eat dead meat. Okay!!)

Oh Most Revered Man of Straw, you have made a good point there!
Fortunately, Barracade can curl up into a protective ball and evade all the pollution and infestation.
Mosquitoes? Phfft! They cant bite through his scales!
